Abstract

A method and apparatus is disclosed for selectively modulating r.f. signals received/transmitted via the radiation pattern side lobes of an r.f. antenna structure. Such modulation permits discrimination between desired r.f. signal energy received via the primary radiation pattern lobe and unwanted r.f. radiation (e.g. noise, jamming or other interference signals) received/transmitted via the secondary or side lobe(s) of the radiation pattern.
